Treasure And Peace
SERMON DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
1. Read Matthew 4:23 & Matthew 6:16-19. After reading these passages, What is YOUR treasure? Where is Your treasure? What are the things in your life that you value? Are they kingdom focuses? Why or why not?
2. Read Matthew 6:22-24, John 18:36a, & John 17:14-15. Jesus wants us to make certain our mind, our heart, and eyes, and our lives are all oriented toward His Kingdom and not the kingdom of the world. What are some areas in your life that are in conflict with that? How can you become single minded? Discuss.
3. Read Matthew 6:25-34, Isaiah 26:3-4, & Jeremiah 17:7-8. What are some things that you are walking through right now that are causing you to fear? Is it a reasonable concern or full blown fear? What can you do to combat that? Discuss with the group.
4. Read Philippians 4:6-7, John 17:14-15, & Matthew 6:25-34. God wants us to choose fear or faith. How can we get away from being anxious over those things that concern us? How can we make the choice not to worry about tomorrow? What are some good tips for helping with that?
5. Read Isaiah 26:3-4 & Matthew 6:33. Is God truly first in your life? When you make decisions, do you seek God on them or just ask for His blessing? Discuss.
